thats what I was thinking, but I honestly didn't believe he was an 11 Time world champ. There were some I forgot about it.

You have NO idea how happy I am at this thread. I seriously thought I was the only one who despised his new tights, so I kinda kept it to myself. But yeah.... his TNA ones are awful. I do understand it though, as TNA hasn't really played up the "All-American Hero" angle in recent times like the WWE did, therefore rendering his red-white-blue tights kinda pointless. I think WWE stopped doing the whole red-white-blue deal in 06 when they were pushing more as a legit badass when he started wearing black. |

For some reason, his whole ECW stuff is a complete blur to me. |

The design on his tights appear to resemble the type of tights you would see among Japanese wrestlers. Least in my opinion.

He has the looks of Andre the Giant, and the strength of Barry Windham. Not to mention he's a hero to a few armadillos, a kangaroo and a small herd of bison.

I see what he means, I think. His WWE stuff looks like its all sewn together to be one or two layers thick, whereas the new ones look like overlaid fabric on a plain black and/or blue singlet. I don't like the flames either way, but added to the fact that WWE has a superior wardrobe department makes them look worse, IMO.
Oh, and the picture with Abyss and Kurt looks like TNA's cardio workouts brought to the ring.

I didn't like the flames when shelton did it, don't like it when Kurt did it.
btw, 11x times? that's awfully close to HHH's reigns (Consiering his last one was a month ago), you'd think WWe would have harped on that. It must have been like 9 by the time he left.

I don't think he was an 11 time WWE world heavyweight champ, but he has held other titles which would give him 11 (or more) title reigns. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kurt_Angle |

Doesn't the 11 x count such things as World Tag Team?
or is that only when they debut a former World Champion...

Yeah it seems it's 11 counting his two tag titles (WWE Tag and TNA Tag), and his IGF IWGP Belt.

Funny. I think Kurt's singlets do look kind of ghetto anymore. They just seem dingy and don't flow or something.
